The shower is on display from July 13 to Aug. 26 but it peaks -- or runs into a denser part of the comet -- on Aug. 12 into the morning of Aug. 13 this year, experts said.

Wait for the sun to set to watch the show although the moon is expected will dim the view. Look north to see the meteors appear to shoot out from a region inside the constellation Perseus.

Those watching in New Jersey may be able to see 40 to 50 meteors per hour. If the moon was in a darker phase, and you were in a dark location, that number would be as high as 80 to 100 meteors per hour, Amie Gallagher, director of the planetarium at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg previously told NJ Advance Media.

Bring something comfortable to sit on. It'll take about 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Make sure your back is to the moon, experts say.
